Bridgerton: The Duke and I (Bridgertons Book 1): The Sunday Times bestselling inspiration for the Netflix Original Series Bridgerton

Me encantó cómo llegó el libro, la pasta que lo cubre viene un poco maltratado pero casi no se nota ni me molesta. Fuera de eso me está encantando 😍✨

Livro compacto e muito bom.

Oh, "The Duke and I" book, you charming literary masterpiece, you've got your work cut out for you in the face of your dazzling TV adaptation. I dove into the pages with the expectation of experiencing the same heart-fluttering, corset-loosening romance as on screen, but alas, the inked version has its quirks.Now, don't get me wrong, dear book, you have your merits. The prose is elegant, and the witty banter between characters is like a fine, aged wine – sophisticated and well-crafted. But when it comes to the smoldering gazes, the palpable tension, and the grandeur of a Regency ball, the TV show swoops in like a swoon-worthy hero and steals the show.Let's talk about the Bridgerton brothers and sisters – they're practically celebrities on screen, stealing scenes left and right with their impeccable chemistry and on-point dialogue. In the book, they're delightful, but it's like comparing a well-executed minuet to a full-blown ballroom dance extravaganza.And Simon, the Duke himself – my, oh my! In the book, he's a dashing leading man, but on screen, he's a downright heartthrob. The TV adaptation serves him justice, showcasing his chiseled jawline and brooding charisma in a way that makes reading about him feel like listening to a symphony through a tin can.Now, I appreciate the written word, the delicate dance of pen on paper, but when the TV show sprinkles in those lush Regency costumes, the swoosh of silk, and the grandeur of the Featheringtons' outlandish fashion choices – well, my imagination can only do so much. And I have a very good imagination.So, "The Duke and I" book, you're like a classic sonnet – beautiful, timeless, but perhaps overshadowed by a vibrant show. It's all in good fun, though; after all, there's room in my heart for both the novel and the Netflix extravaganza. Cheers to the Bridgertons, in all their literary and cinematic glory!

This is a beautifully written story about the relationship between Daphne Bridgerton and Simon Hastings. Although Simon is cast as a black man in the television series, he is written as a white man with blue eyes and blonde hair. Nevertheless, he is still relatable because he is so well-written.Lady Danbury doesn't figure in this book so I think casting choices have dominated the perception of the first series.It all happens within the same space of just over three months between 26th April 1813 to 6th August 1813 not counting the epilogue.
